Bulwinkle, Democrat, was in Congress from the ninth district for four terms, eight years. Dur­ ing that time he failed to get any thing done whatever for his district, in fact his record during the eight years he was in Washington was as blank as the proverbial cracker. The only thing he did during bis eight years was to strut around like a peacock, draw his salary and bis breath. In 1928 the people of the ninth dis trict decided they would change Congressman and elected the re­ sourceful, the hard working, Charles \ A. Jonas. In the one short term that Jonas was in congress he succeeded in get­ ting Congress to appropriate $225,000 to purchase Kings Mountain and es­ tablish there a military park; he se­ cured allocations for public buildings . at Morganton. Shelby, Gastonia-and Charlotte and in many other ways was one of the most valuable mem­ bers that the ninth district ever sent to Congress. Due to the fact that the election machinery was in the hands of Demo cratic partisans who swore by all that was good and holy that Jonas should not be re electet he was the victim of some of the most glaring election methods kkown to man, in 1930, and the certificate of election was given to the man he defeated in 1928/ We shall how see what Bul- wihkle will do fbr the district or if h i will repeat, his. do-nothing record of eight years that he has already spent in Washington.—Union Repub­ lican. N. C. Assemby Bitterly Assailed by Alex Hanes Raleigh, March 14—“The pres ent legislature has done more dam age to the credit ot North Carolina than anything that has yet hap pened, for people are afraid to buy bonds of any state about which there is as-much wild talk by a wild class of people as are here in this General Assembly,” said Alex S Hanes, seventh distiict highway commissioner, here for the last or next to the last meeting the pres­ ent commission will hold. Mr. Hanes, it will be remember, served as chairman of the commis­ sion for a period, after Frank Page resigned and until R. A. Doughton was appointed. More than a year ago he resigned, but Governor Gardner refused to accept his resig­ nation, inducing him to remain on the commission. He is now happy that his position goes out with the inauguration of the new highway plans, and would not, under any conditions, accept appointment on the new commission, he states very positively. This General Assembly is of a peculiar type of mind,” said Mr. Hanes. “They have talked more and insisted more about saving money for the people and they are really trying to see how much they can waste. After sending all of the able-bodied prisoners to the road camps, by the new highway bill, and the others to the farms, they Dass a bill to spend $400,000 on a new prison which will not be needed. The bill should be entitl­ ed ‘Au act to build a new home for George Ross Pou!' With all of their talk-about saving taxes, a bill to require the counties to reflect the savings made by the state taking over the roads in the tax bill has been defeated and can't be passed in this Assemb­ ly. After this legislature adjourns and all the commissions and jobs being created are filled, the expen ditures of North Carolina will be greatly increased and everybody will be taxed more than last year. “The only honest job I can see is being done at present is passing the buck and at the present time it looks. like the only way to get North Carolina straightened out is for the state to go Republican, clean out all of the old gang and start all over again in four years with ugjv blood,” said Mr. Hanes. ' It is occasionally easy to override a Presidential veto—but the sinceri ty and courage which a veto Pieces sarily represents can never be eras­ ed. Some Hickory Chips. Spring is here and so are we, and what are we going to do with it— you and me? The Legislature is still in Ral eigh, or in the automobiles to and from there. Poor fellows! I have not heard what Bailey and Morrison' are doing in Wash­ ington. Guess they will obey Raskob. I see Tom Heflin is a't home, put among his people. He can dojnore good with Kluckers than wiih Raskobs. Real estate does not bring as much now as it did last year. The reason is, the money is in automo- mobiles. And that is why so many are out of work Factories can’t run and pay laborers unless they can sell their products. And when it will get better, is a question for the people to answer. Not in words, but in daily work and service. Even capital and la bor can’t do it alone. They must do all in harmony with God’s will: And .they are not doing it. . = J. F. C. In The Good Old Days. When the first automobile ap­ pear in a nearby city years ago, a local paper commented upon its ar rival and made the statement that “we hope none of our citizens will desecrate the Sabbath by driving one of these contraptions on that day.V After all, it is far more humane to drive an automobile on Sunday than make the poor old horseor mule work seven days in the week instead of the appointed six, and today nobody considers it any more a desecration of the Sab­ bath to drive an automobile than to drive a horse, which leads to the conclusion that our conception of right and. wrong depends very largely upon prevailing public senti­ ment, anyway. Of course, there are certain well defined sins and crimes that no self-respecting citi­ zen can afford to engage in, but we are talking about these habits that are within themselves harm­ less. For instance, there was once a time in Nashville when it would have been considered sacreligious to plav a violin in a church, and rook, bridge, dominoes, etc., were tabooed because of public senti­ ment was against such innocent pastime, recreation or whatever you choose to call it. However young people were allowed to take straw rides into the country at nigh, shut themselves np in parlors in pairs and do many other things that might result in much more disastrous lhings. When it comes to recreation social lice or pastime, it is hard to say just what is right and what is wrong. The biggest consideration about the whole program is that we use care not to. waste too much time at any of the recreations and sports and that we leave the gambling ha­ bit severely alone and teach our children to do the same thing.— Marshville Home. To Fight Illicit Liquor. Prohibition Director Woodcock, announced the past week at Wash­ ington that by July I, be intended to have 500 additional enforcement officers in the field and -that he planed a campaign more strenuous than any in recent prohibition his­ tory.

Salisburians will be interested in the announcement from Mocksvilk- that the W. R. Craig farm, in Jeru­ salem township of Davie county, and near the Rowan line, has been made an addition to the game ref­ uge areas of that section Full con trol of the big estate of 1,223 acies is given to the department of con­ servation and development as far as game and similar interests are con­ cerned. District Game Warden W. C. Lisk has been at work for sojpe time on the project, and announces that Mr. Craig has agreed to coop­ erate to the fullest extent in seek-, ing to increase game in that sec­ tion, and his entire estate becomes a state refuge. The Davie county game preserve has 6 500 acres in its boundaries, it is said; while the Reynolds-Lybrook farm of 765 acres and the 1,167 acre tract of S Clay Williams have been added. Now the craig faim of 1,223 acres is the newest addi­ tion to the game preserves, and the supplies ot pheasants, quail and other game are expected to increase materially as hunting is forbidden in these areas. —Salisbury Post. Turnips and Famine. Lowly turnip greeus have been derided, but it remains true that by the end of spring their position economically, even sociologically, will be of prime importance, They will outshine diamonds. They will have more virtue than saints and be more popular than prosperous widows. They will do more good than the doctors, the ministers and the'bankers— and almost as much as the editors of family papers, such as this. They will give strength to the famished in thous ands of American homes which for a year have seen no green things to eat. Indeed the turnip leaf may yet be exalted to the rank of the national flower. — Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. My God, Abernethy. The Legislature took $120 of the taxpayers money and bought flowers and other expense of enter­ tainment for the Al Smith speech delivered in a Raleigh' theatre re­ cently. When it comes to spend­ ing some one else’s cash the aver­ age Legislature or Congressman have no compunctions of conscience whatever. These lawmakers had no more right to take the money of taxpayers to buy flowers for Al Smith than thev would have to bttv a rattle for a baby, chewing gum for a miss or a baseball for a grow­ ing lad.—Ex.

Don’t Want Honest Elections. It must be apparent .to even the casual observer, by this time, that the political leaders in North Caro Iina don’t wau’t honest elections, for they steadfastly resist every effort to amend the election laws with a view to preventing crookedness in connection with elections. Irregularities in connection with the operation of the absentee ballot ing act have become so widespread and'notorious that there is much— and apparently a growing—senti ment in favor of repealing that law altogether. Buncombe county has been exempted from its operation by the present Legislature, which was also urged to make the exemption, or real, state-wide; but those pecu­ liarly interested succeded in thwart­ ing the reform. When pressure from the women and the unselfish element of the male electorate became so strong that it could no longer be safely re­ sisted, a so-called Australian ballot law was passed and had itsfirst try­ out in the 1930 election; but its operation disclosed the fact that these same forces opposed to fair and untrammeled elections, hadn’t been entirely outwitted —ward heel­ ing, herding, and official markers, can still work wonders. Party victory, not a fair and un­ trammeled expression of public opinion, is what we seem to want.— Mr. Olive Tribune. Must Wait And See Thelast "regular” meeting of the State Highway Commission as now composed was held iast Thursday at Raleigh, according to general a- greement of press reports. Said reports were evidently based on “official” information. The com­ mission will meet again on March 30 for the purpose of "going out of office,” according to the same information. Contracts for some two million dollars worth of road constauctiou were awarded at the meeting last Thursday. No other lettings are so far scheduled before the com­ mission’s tenure of office expires, though it had formerly been stated from Raleigh that a letting late this month was contemplaied. In the meantime, the Fork-Mocks ville link of Highway 90, victim of officiai dalliance for ten years, is still np in the air. Announcement by the commission early in the year that it had allocated Federal aid funds for building this link was accepted in good faith by those an­ xious to see this work done. Fail­ ure to include it in the leftings of March 10th, was attrinuted to ina­ bility to get together the necessary data on the survey, not begun un­ til during the present young, year. If thepresent commission does not let this contract then the new commissioner that comes into office April 1, must be immediately re­ minded of this waiting job, and the job at the* other end between here and Raleigh. We must wait and see, but that does not mean that it would be wise to forget this matter in the meantime.—Lexing­ ton Dispatch. ‘ Prosperity Flash. It is announced that employment at the Ford Motor Co., assembly plant, at Charlotte, has been . in creased from 500 to 1,000 men within the past few weeks and 200 more are being given part time em­ ployment.

We would suggest to Mr. Bailey that he first go to Maiden, Catawba county, where the young doctor and bis wife voted a straight ballot for Bailey ,and not being satisfied with this also voted an absentee ballot for Bailey in an adjoining county. The young doctor did not deny this and was let off with the costs before a Democratic recorder. And then Mr. Bailey might go on to Burke county where in one pre­ cinct there were more-ballots than names in the ballot box, where one voted twice the same day and where it is alleged hundreds of absentee ballots were cast for people that never saw them. Mr. Bailey might also take a trip to Btanlv county and interview the 67 teachers whose homes were else­ where, some of them out of the state who voted for him and also take a look at the more than 600 absentee ballots that were also cast in Stanly f 11- him. Mr Baily might also go to John­ ston county and there see the san e state of affairs as regarding teachers voting as he found existed in Stanly. Buck Bryant, from Washington, is every now and then, issuing propa­ ganda which the News and Observer is publishing saving there is nothing to this investigation but he will find out different. Bryant has been u- way from the state so long that he doesn’t know what is going on down here and thinks that we still have Cam Morrison’s Red Shirts parading the highways and that? the negroes are all still voting the Democratie ticket in Halifav county. -I No one in North Carolina is better informed than Senator Bailey of the election frauds that are practiced in this state. He was the victim of some of these frauds in his own pri­ mary for Governor in 1924 and he knows it. That there were gross frauds prac ticed in the 1928 primary and gener­ al election must be admitted by all right thinking people and we trust' that the Senate committee will come to North Carolina and show to the people of the country just what kind of election laws we have to live under here in North Carolina and we hope also that the evidence will be preserved by this committee and turned over to District Attorney Jonas and that these election thieves will be out in the federal peniten- - tiary where they belong.—Union Re­ publican. Times Have Changed. The extent to which times have changed is illustrated by the fact that a few years back only a few families owned a horse aud buggy. Such a possession was looked upon as a 'luxury in town. Nowadays' practically every home owns a car. A car costs more to run three .-times over than it nsed to cost to keep a horse and the average car ('posts four or five rimes as much -as a- horse and buggy and barn to IiiSuse it in used to cost.—Ex.

Smith, of Farmington is short Just $22 oi, and his daugh ter narrowly escaped a bullet in her bead early one morning last week It wasn’t a burglar that got the money or a pistol that fired the shot Mr. Smith was leaving home after supper and gave his wife his purse containing the money, two 22 long cartridges and a key," Mrs. Smith put the purse m her coat pocket, and in putting wood in the kitchen stove the purse accidental 'ly fell in Ihe fire unknown to Mrs. Smith. The next morning a fire was built in the stove to prepare the jiiorning meal Mr. Smith asked for his purse and a search failed to find it About this time one of the cartidges that was in the stove exploded and the bullet just clipped by the ear of Mr. Smith’s daughter. The stove was opened, an investigation made and the key and the two silver dollars that had been in the purse were found in the ashes. One of the dollars had broken into three pieces and the olher one was whole but very much disfigured. The $20 in currency, together with the penny, had been entirely destroyed. Mr Smith re grets his loss very much blit says he is thankful that his daughter wasn't killed or injured. Aged Citizen Dead. !Ir. A. A.

The Record remarked a sh'ort while ago that if all reports were true the Mocksville folks had better send for Marshall Molt. The re­ ports must have been true, as we understand that Evangelist Mott is to return to Mocksville in'June for a series of meetings. Running a country newspaper is not as easy as some folks would have you believe. If every man who thinhs he knows how to 1 uu a newspaper, would try it for just one week, the editors would get a good deal more sympathy than they are getting, and less advice about how to run the paper. That Norlh Carolina legislature is a thing that will be long remem­ bered by the people of this state. Wilh only seven Republicans in the entire body of 170 lawmakers it is up to the taxpayers to give the democrats credit for everything good that was done and to cuss them for everything bad. If the taxpayers of Davie county have to pay a tax rate of over 25 cents on the $100 valuation this year they are going to be disap­ pointed. The North Carolina leg­ islature is lowering tbeir taxes daily and the democrats in Davie are saving the county thousands of dol­ lars—so they claim. This being true, there is no necessity for more than a 25 cent rate. A Long Chase. Deputy sheriff Craven and officer Bill Nail took an automobile ride last Tuesday night. They left Mocksville just in the rear of a Chevrolet coupe which was occu pied by three men. The chase led to within four miles of Statesville, where the car was overtaken after one of tne officers had shot a tire down. Two of the occupants of the car escaped, but the third man was too drunk to make a get away When the officers examined the car they found 55 gallons of moun­ tain dew. The man, whose name is Milford Dent, from Rowan coun­ ty, together with the car and booze, were brought to Mocksville where Dent was lodged in jail to await a hearing. For a half a century the demo­ crats have had control of the town of Mocksville. This being the case,- why in heaven’s name is the tax rate $1.60 per hundred? Do the democrats believe in lowering taxes? A new mayor and board of aider, men are to be elected this spring. Now is the liae to let the candi- Easter Service At New Union Next Sunday.

APfelt t, tq$I BUS COMPETITION HlTSRAttROADS Biankers Association President :Asks If Unfair Aid Is Given Motorized Transport— For Rail Mergers. NBW YORK--Fair treatment for the railroads in respect to highway motor competition was called for by Rome C. Stephenson, President Amer­ ican Bankers Association, in a recent address here. He also strongly en­ dorsed “sound economic railway con­ solidation” and praised President Hoo­ ver for his initiative in this respect. “I am very strongly of the opinion that one of the measures which would help materially to put back business where it ought to be is the Eastern four-system plan of railroad consoli­ dation as announced recently follow­ ing negotiations instituted by Presi­ dent Hoover,” said Sir. Stephenson. "Its adoption by the Interstate Com­ merce Commission would tend to stabi­ lize the transportation industry, fa­ cilitate operation and exert a favorable influence on business in general. “It is a fact well known to business leaders that our railroads are now fac­ ing a crisis. Not only do they need protective laws to meet competitive situations arising from increased use of our highways and waterways by other carriers, but they need unifica­ tion such as the proposed four-system plan provides. Our President has acted wisely in assuming a leadership in this respect and his move deserves the support of every clear-thinking citizen.” Mr. Stephenson declared that the railroads have served this country “so superlatively well that we are prone in our public affairs to overlook our de­ pendence upon them and our obliga­ tions to them. The past, present and future progress of the United States is inseparably bound up with their wel­ fare.' In neglecting just consideration for them we are even more neglectful of the public’s best economic interests. A Question of Public Interest “We are confronted with the Ques­ tion as to how much more the public economic interest will stand an inva­ sion of the welfare of the railroads by forces and difficulties not of their own creating and not within the scope of their own unaided powers to combat,” said Mr. Stephenson. “I refer especially to new competitions that are undermin- ing.thediard:earned position of the rail­ roads, not only with the aid of natural economic-forces but also through tho aid .of government policies "which, posi­ tively or negatively, tend to give these competitors undue advantages over the railroads. “It goes without saying that the rail­ roads have no right,.nor claim any, so far as I have been able to discern, to complain at legitimate competition in the field of transportation, for the pub­ lic is entitled to the best possible trans­ portation at the lowest practical cost. But equally does it go without saying that this cannot be fairly brought about by using, or by failing to use, the tax­ ing powers of government to enable competitive methods of transportation to do things they could not otherwise do as unaided private enterprises, par­ ticularly when such action impairs the invested rights held in good faith by great masses of our people in estab­ lished enterprises that are serving the public well.” Mr. Stephenson said it was not his purpose to arguo against such com­ petitive transportation as the highway passenger motorbus and motor truck as such, when conducted under proper conditions and in keeping with public welfare and benefit. He declared, how­ ever, there is need for'serious consid­ eration whether such competition is being developed under conditions that are unfair to the raih'oads, because either the outright or obscure aid cf government policy is the deciding eco­ nomic factor in that competition. Would Investigate Bus Traffic Railroad rights of way, he declared, represent tremendous capital invest­ ments, on which the railroads have also heavy current costs to meet. “They pay every day a million dollars In taxes and most of this is on their rights of way,” he said. “Also they spend daily over two million dollars ad­ ditional for the proper maintenance of way.” He asserted that the motor- buses have not had to pay for their rights of way in any sense that the rail­ roads paid for theirs. “They have simply taken possession of public highways built by public funds, both state and national,” he con­ tinued, “and they have extensively made those highways vastly less com­ fortable, less safe and less serviceable for private motorists and others who are contributing chiefly to their crea­ tion and maintenance.” M t. Stephenson declared that all these matters should be thoroughly in­ quired into by - competent public bodies, both state and national, with a view of determining the equities and basic public economic interests in­ volved, “particularly in respect to their effects upon the nation’s railroads. “I venture to say,” he added, “that su'g^fiiquiries would show whether it •is!tH £e public interest to let things, remain;-as they are, whether the situa­ tion chils for a new basis of motorbus and trgck taxes to satisfy the equities of thejcase or whether it would call for such drastic action as the exclusion of this traffic from our public general highways, and the requirement that, even as .the railways, it provide as a part of its own private capital invest- mentftts own rights of way and for its own maintenance of way out of operat­ing Income.11.

This list was handed to us by County Super intendent W. F. Robinson and we are glad to publish same: Attendance Record for M mth of January (White) He Musi Be Mad. A. good Republican is going to work for his party in and out of season. An office holder who has been-at the .pieFcouiyer for thirty years Pr more .sometimes thinks he owns the office and. the party but awakening is almost at hand. There is no one man big enough to run his party without help. When an office-holder gets bigger than bis party then it is time for the party to set the politician down.— Q . B. W. Bank of Davie To Make Service Charge. Some time ago a numoer of banks, especially in the larger cities throughout the country, inaugurated a policy of making- a service !charge on all accounts carried in their banks whose balance was less than $100 during the month, provided that as many as three or more checks were written during the month. Thisservice charge is $1.00 per month. Our local bank, the Bank of Davie, which, by the way, is one of the strongest banks in North Carolina, aid not adopt this pol­ icy when banks in our neighboring city of Winston Salem did so. This bank has been and is still making money, as the directors at their last meeting declared the usual 4 per cent, semi-annual dividend We under­ stand that at a recent meeting of the Directors of the Bank of Davie, it was decided that a service charge wonld be made on all accounts that is checked below $50 during the period from the 25th of one month to the 25th of the succeeding month. The charge will be 50c per month, where more than three checks are is.ued during the month. In other words, if your bank book doesn’t show that yo.ur deposits are more than $50 at all times, then you will have to pay the bank 52c. per month or $6 per year. Personally, this means that The Record editor is going to have to shell out $6 per year to pay the bank for handling the few dollars that we manage to collect monthly. The Record reali­ zes that this bank is forced to make this small charge, and we are glad to pay it. We realize that the check books furnished us yearly and the collection of our out-of-town checks without any exchange charged, is costing the bank much more than $6 per year, not taking into con­ sideration the great convenience of paving our out of Iowii accounts with checks instead of having to purchase money orders or cashiers checks, which would mean much greater cost to us. This new ruling goes into effect May 1st. The Record will have plenty of company when we go to settling with our banker every month..

E., Jerusalem with three from Cooleen ee, Bap­ tist, Methodist and Presbyterian, sent in their reports wi*h a mem bership enrollment of 1387, aver­ age attendance of 1024. Judge P. S. Carlton, of the Sal­ isbury Township Association was present and made a short talk and then introduced Dr. Arch C. Cree, pastor of the First Baptist church, of Salisbury, who gave to the large attentive audience, one of the fin­ est addresses this Association ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Dr. Gree used as his theme, "Know God’s Word." ] T. I. Caudell also was present and delivered a masterful talk 011 ■ The Sunday School, one of God’s greatest agencies in evangelizing the world.” ! Liberty choir was present and rendered some fine music. Aftera short business session the congre­ gation sang, "God be with you." and Rev. J. W. Foster offered the closing prayer. j Too Serious. '■ The Potlikker war still rages in Some parts of the country. Re ports of battles between drunkers and cruroblers have appeared in the newspapers as bright spots afford colorful dashes of variety in routine news of crimes, legislative bicker jngs. politics,, sports aud society happenings; but some - people are taking this war far too seriously. X I. B. Turner, of Smithneld, Va., according to a Newport News dis­ patch, is simply disgusted because he thinks certain unorthodox corn pone and potlikker consumers, iiotably Prof. D B Carrick, of Cor­ dell university, are having too much to say on a subject about ^vhich thep know little or nothing. Turner became so much peeved that he canceled his subscription to k Newport News paper, v Professor Carrick, a Latin teach­ er, intervening in the Potlikker war started by the Atlanta Cousti tution and Louisiana’s pelican play boy governor, said: • You take the corupone ill your left hand and a spoon in your right. ,Then you alternate, taking two jspoonfuls of potlikker to one bite bf cornpone. :• Mr. Turner didn't like this one little bit. Breaking off relations with the newspaper, because it printed the Latin professor’s views, he dashed off the following ex­ planation: I, Professor Carrick might be smart about hooks and all that high falu tin stuff but I ain't never seen no body drink potlikker with a spoon. I been raised on potlikker with a spoon. I baen raised on potlikker myself an ennybody that nose en iiything about potlikker nose that you dip it up out of the iron pot thet sets on the kitchen stove with a cnp and drink it as is without no spoon. Please correct the geutle- tnan that iOte that please. He is Jest been up north so long he for­ got his stuff.—Greensboro Record. .

Mr. Editor:—I wish you would tell us why Senator Morrison it trying to down Chas. Jonas? Is ht afraid Jonas will show up the elec­ tion frauds and catch some high up bootleggers? I guess he and Sena­ tor -Bailev will work for and help nominate candidates that can g-t the wet vote. Do you think the drys and tie Christian men and women will si still and let them do it? And hou about the preachers? Do you think they will he afraid >0 come out and protect their flocks from such rav ing wolves and sheep-killing dogs? For any intelligent man or wom­ an, of any party, who will vote to open the barrooms, with all the au tomobiles we have now, "sins a- gainst light and knowledge," for which there is no forgiveness. Hea­ ven is no place for such. The Bible is outspoken on the subject. Get it down and read all about what it says about the cuise of strong drink and immoral and unrighteous rulers and ihe people who made them rulers—they are allies of the devil. . C. Thinks We Are Wrong. Dear Mr. Editor:—I have your issue of March 25th, and I note that you say Senator Grant and Representative LeGrand voted for "the gambling bill to allow Bun­ combe county to bet on dog and horse races,” and I wish to con­ gratulate both of these gentlemen for the stand they took on this bill This bill was officially the "Reed. Racing Bill,” until the Hon. Jo-e phus Daniels, who has delegated himself a dicta’or for the entire state, brought up the bugaboo ol gambling, thereby diverting the real meaning of the bill and fool­ ing a lot of people. And I am al­ so sorry to learn that he seemingly caught aud carried away a good old Republican like yourself iu uis well baited net. '■Further, and for the information of others who may think other­ wise, it might be stated that it is not now against any law in North Carolina to bet on a horse race, ball game, pool game, or any other game of "skill” or ‘science.” Cases of this kind .have long ago been ruled on in the state court, as Mr. Grant, or anV other lawyer, can tell you. Old Josephus is getting mighty "moral," and yon Republicans li.d better watch him or he will have you believing you will go to hell unless you vote the Democratic ticket—and vote it as he says to. Buncombe county already has gambling, lying, stealing, bootleg­ ging, and all other forms of licen­ tiousness. What we wanted was a good sport that would attract tourists and bring in some cold cash; which the racing bill would have made possible. But it was beat by lying newspapers and a few chinch people, who meant well, but were mis informed. R S. MERONEY Married Men Quite Sd He Avers. Those Michigan university stud­ ents seem to have been full mem­ bers ot the Kappa Hooch fraterni­ ty.—Atlanta Constitution, Raleigh, March 31.—Governor Gardner today received the follow­ ing letter from Nasli county: “ Governor Max O. Gardner. Just a line. Will you please put iu a bill to stop married men from going with girls and other married women. I think if that can be stopped it will do more good than anything. It will cut out nearly all of the divorce cases and 80 per cent of the murder cases is what I think about it. “ From one that wishes the peo­ ple and the state to do good.” The Effect Of Fear On Business. Thetreasurerof the State of Wis­ consin writing a special article for The United States Daily thinks ■hat the stock market crash -last rear was in the main a good thing ‘or the country. “Too many ot our people were becoming gamblers, nothing attract­ ’d them but ea^y money. Any thing they had to work for was not to their liking. Sn h a condition is not wholesome and tends to weak­ en enterprise. People must remain hormal if they are to expect econo­ mic conditions to remain normal,? Ue says. Commenting on the effect of fear on business he calls particular at­ tention to facts which we know to be very true from observations which any one could make during recent months. “ We know,!’ he remarks, "that fear can create a panic just as quickly when the fear is, without foundation as when there is a cause for it. We have known of many a bank failure due simply to a false rumor. And we have’to­ day a fear of -investing money even iu legitimate business. Money is the artery of business, and at pre­ sent our banks have millions of dol­ lars inactive! Wh>? Becausefear is at the helm.” There is a note of optimism throughout his article especially evident in the following praagfapb: "Bad as conditions have been, we are still far ahea'd of 40 or 50 years ago. People of the most moderate means have more modern conveniences in their homes than did the iiiillioniares of 50 veats ago. Today the poorest children have the advantages of at least a higll school educaiion, and the majority of students in the universities come from families of limited means, whereas in early days educational advantages were open only to the children of the wealthy And after all, ignorance is the cause of all failure. Wbat we need more than all else is intelligence is the only thing that can avert disasters, over­ come fear, and keep the wheels of progress ruuning smoothly." Local DrUffgist Opposes Bill. “ We don’t wan’t any liquor pres- scription bill,” said a Winston-Sa­ lem druggist of long, experience. He spoke with consideable feeling 011 the bill in the Legislature, which would direct the sale ot li­ quor in drug stores on physicipns. A pation had jokingly suggested that the proprietors would have to enlarge greatly their store room if the liquor bill were passed. The druggist said he had exper­ ience in selling liquor in a drug store in one of the larger towns of the Stale when the prescription/re­ gime was in effect. “ We didn't like it.” he said. "The liquor he.ids thronged 'the drug store, like bees at a mud hole The women wouldn’t come to the store. We lost more business than the liquor selling produced. ’ The druggist went on to say that when selling Iiquot on prescrip­ tions was abolished many drug stores found they had lost so much of their belter class trade and busi­ ness that they had to quit. ' He was emphatic in insisting that drug stores don’t want to sell liquor. It attracts an element that is [lately undesirable and forcibly changes the character of the drug store.— Winston Journal. I It is a well-managed Vation which j is able to pull through a great emer- Igency practically free of hasty I measures which must ultimately re- ! suit in a perpelution of some of its [ Land posters at this office.[evils. f HE DAviE RECORD, MOCKSvLLe, H. t April i »93» THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Postofflce in Mocks- ville, N. C.. as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN'ADVANCE - % I OO SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - * SO * Some folks get a vote of thanks for doing tlie smi:e thing that would land oil-er foiks ii* jail or on . the chain gang. It is sometimes hard for the of­ ficers to catch all the law violators. And it is sometimes hard to con­ vict some of them after they are caught. Earthquarkes, airships and auto­ mobiles are helping to solve the un­ employment situation by killing manj of those who might be look­ ing for a job. ______ So far as we ^an learn salaries of the Davie county school teachers, the county officers and not even the Governor’s salary, has been reduced to any great extent. Senaior Josigh Bailey has been very quiei for the past fe'V weeks Wonder it he is meditating over certain" chapters that are to be found in the book of Proverbs? We have a number of Dreacheis who take our paper and read it. Thev have at least one thing to be t'lankful for—thev don't have to read ab Ut all the bridge parties i i North Carolina. Ourfriendswho own autrs are shelling out 6 cents per gallon tax on gasoline and doing so wi’h a s-nile. If their cold drinks, cigars and other luxuries were taxed six cents on every 20 cents waith, there would no doubt be a big howl. Folks are curious, anyhow. Some of the automobile cotnpan ies must liave decided last fall that the Republicans in Davie didn't have enough money to purchase a car. We expect they were partly right, but the Ford Company be­ lieves in reaching both democrats and Republicans, and their ads are to be found in The Record. We heard a prominent man who stands high in North Caro­ lina political circles, remark a few days ago that the 1931 legislature was composed of more crazy men than any legislature in the history of the state, or words to that effect. He may be right. We won't argue the question. If the world is getting better, then we are laboring tinder' a sad delusion It seems to us that the devil is doing more work in this section than ever before The boot­ legger, the moonshiner, the gam­ bler, the thief aud the murderer don’t seem to take any vacation. They are busy every day and Sun day thrown in foi good measure. We read where a gentleman in Nevada is running for mayor on a platform to do away with the boot­ legger and put barrels of J.iquor on every corner of his town with tin cups handy so eveu those who run may drink. We are not printing the name of the town lest we wake up some morning and find than the population of our ton n has slump­ ed. There are some folks in this country-just a little meaner than the devil really wants them to be. They might become scared at their meanness and turn over a new leaf. The man or woman who will lie and misrepresent facts is much meauer than tlie poor man who will go out arid steal to keep his family from starving. These wolves ii^sheep’s clothing may not get tlieir just deserts here but they will eventually get what is coming to them. If there is a Republican in Davie county, outside of the Welfare of­ ficer, who is holding any kind of a political job under otir democratic administration, we would like to have his name and address. Most of those who are holding jobs are gaid to be of the Al Smith variety of democrats. This is as it should be. A Republican has no business bolding a county job in Davie so long as the county remains demo­ cratic. To the victor belongs the spoils. No democrat has any busi­ ness holding a Federal job while the Republicans are in power in the nation. > Prof. J I). Hodges, of Jerusi leui, in writing to the Winston Journal, has this to say* “The Iemocrats can secure the election of a Republican in 1932 beyond the shadow of a doubt bv simply no­ minating a wet for either President or vice-president. If the assured must be madedoubly assured, then let the democratic party retain the leadership of Raskob, Smith, Roosevelt and Tammany, any one, or all of them. Then, if 192S, was an Arbela, 1932 will be a Water­ loo.’ Now, bv jinks, we want to know what the leader of the detni - cralic party in Davie county thinks about the wise utterance of this Confederate soldier? Iftthe editor of The Record lives until next Tuesday. April 14th, he will observe his fiftieth birthday. More than 38 years of this half century has been spent in weekly newspaper offices. If a man can spend thib length of time in coun­ try newspaper oflvces without land­ ing in jail or the poor hou?e. he is to be congratulated. To make this occasion one to be remembered by the editor, vve trust that every our of our subscribers from Maine to California, who is due us any­ thing on subsription, will mail us a frog skin so it will reach us 011 or before April 14th. If you live in Davie drop in and pay us a per­ sonal cal1. Birthdav cakes, fried chicken, blackberry pie and coun­ try hams will oe gladly received but no moonshine liquor or near beer wanted.

Measures to lessen the severity of the blow inflicted by drought were taken as early as last September, when seed was distributed to more than 58,- 000 families for the planting of rye and other pastures, and to more than 27,- 000 families Tor the planting of kitchen gardens. The expenditure for this pur­ pose amounted to $32G,8U0. Green vege­ tables were made available up to the first of January. Early in February another Red Cross garden program got under way and 507,000 packages of seed were distrib­ uted in 15 states. Quarter-acre plots were planted to beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, collard, sweet corn, kale, let­ tuce, mustard, okra, onions, peas, spinach, squash, tomatoes and turnips. Once again were farm families given the opportunity to participate in their own salvation. A comparatively mild winter contrib­ uted to the success of the Spring and Fall seed campaigns. Many habitual Blngle-croppers were introduced to the advantages of kitchen gardens, bal­ anced cropping ; id balanced diet. •Numerous land-owners have expressed the opinion that this constitutes the one apparent blessing to come out of the drought catastrophe. The United States Deparinient of Agriculture and the local counly triuilturul agents and home demonstration ;:gents < > operated in making tills part of the re­ lief operations outstandingly success­ ful. Balanced Meals Served Red Cross feeding was aimed at ade­ quacy and scientific correctness, as well as simple economy. In large num­ bers of schools, ivhere children were found to be attending with little or nothing in their lunch boxes, hot meals were served at noon. A typical menu consisted of vegetable soup and bread one day; thick beef soup or stew with vegetables another day; cocoa or millt and cheese, peanut butter, or jam sandwiches, a third day. In some places where lunches were not served in the schools, but were pro­ vided for in the regular food orders, each family having school children re­ ceived extra.staples for school lunches lncludingpeanut butler, raisins, prunes and tomatoes. I Jd Gross nutritionists Instructed mothers in t' e preparation of lunches. County health i .,leers and private physicians oi in mended the adequacy of rations procured on orders issued by lied Cross chapters, which were '■ filled at local stores. Ilcsides the usual -staples, such as corn meal, Hour, lard, •meat, beans and potatoes, such items as canned salmon, cabbage, tomatoes, . vegetables and milk wore provided, each order being adapted to the special ; needs of the family for whom it was • Issued. Whore pellagra threatened, eggs, yeast and otiicr preventives were ■ given. ! Thousands of Volunteer Workers Many thousands of volunteers, .through their local Red Cross chapters, gave freely of their time, experience ; and efforts, as In other Red Cross dis- : aster operations. They searched c*;:t ; needy cases in I . eir c nnmunitles, many persons being restrained f.orn 'asking assistance because <f pride. : Chapter committees investigated cir­ cumstances, distributed food and cloth- ■ ing. More than 500 carloads of foodstuffs were contributed. -rFhuse were given free haulage by railroads. Farmers of more fortunate sections embraced the opportunity to help their pastoral cousins of the affected area. Shipments ranged from live poultry to fish, from grain to grapefruit Carloads of'flour, eggs, beans, vegetables, onions, rice, corn and mixed vegetables were in­ cluded. As the result cf co-ordinated Red Cross chapter efficiency, not one au- thent’cated case of starvation as a re­ sult of drought has been uncovered. Large quantities of new and used clothing were distributed. In direct consequence many school children re­ sumed their studies who had been kept at home for lack of sufficient protection from the elements. In some instances-,•' rural schools, that had been closed were enabled to reopen as a result of Red Cross relief work. . States involved were: Alabama, Ar­ kansas, Georgia. Illinois, Indiana, Ken­ tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis­ sippi, Missouri, Montana, North Caro­ lina, North Dakota. (;hio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Vir­ ginia, West Virginia. j:Many of these States bad been hard a succession of floods, crop .fail- ’^ures, low prices and economic depres­ sion. and drought constituted a climax to ‘the cycle of distress. “W herever I went," wrote oue ob­ server, “I made a point or asking what would have happened if the Red Cross had not been able to respond.

BEST IN SUPPLIES DUAL BANK SYSTEM FAVORED BY BANKER State and National Institutions Supplement Each O ther in Serving Country’s Varied Financial Needs RECENT suggestions that all banks In the United States he under Fe- eral jurisdiction, doing away with the chartering o£ .banks by the various states recalls the opposition to this plan presented at the recent conven­ tion of the American Bankers Associa­ tion by R. S. Hecht of Nery Orleans, Chairman of its Economic Policy Com­ mission. Mr. Hecht said: “There are just as good reasons why there should be state as well as na­ tional banks, aB that there should be state as well as a national government. I do not think that analogy is far­ fetched. The states should not sur­ render all political jurisdiction to the central government, and the local busi­ ness life of the states should not be made to surrender all control over financial functions to national financial instrumentalities. There are many va­ riations of business conditions from state to state and there are special fiscal requirements of the various states. “It is entirely logical, therefore, that the states should retain the right to charter banks so as to mold and direct their affairs in accordance with the states’ governmental and business re­ quirements and keep them adapted to localized sentiment and conditions. “The argument is sometimes ad­ vanced that the dual system jeop­ ardizes the life of the Federal Reserve System because under it there is a large group of banks that are free to remain out of or to withdraw from the system. Facts and figures prove that this is a specious argument. “It is true that there has been some shifting from national to state char­ ters especially in cases of mergers of large national banks with banks op­ erating under state charters. However, the Federal Reserve System was not weakened In. this process because the merged institutions almost universally retained their membership in the sys­ tem on a voluntary basis. Moreover, the records ,show that state bank mem­ bers are just as good members of the system as national banks and the ratio of state bank resources in the Federal Reserve System is constantly growing. In 1922, national banks held about G5 per cent of the resources of reserve members, and state banks about 35 per cent, while In 1929, the nationals held only 60 per cent and state banks 40 per cent. Banking Systems Help Each Other “Reciprocally the state and national banks systems have helped each other. If the national banking law has served In some respects as something of a model code toward which state bank­ ing laws more and more have ap­ proached year by year, so have the state codes developed valuable reforms which have suggested improvements for the national laws. A great many undesirable competitive inequalities have been wiped out by this mutual evolutionary process and further prog­ ress along the line of uniformity so far as is desirable is anticipated. “However, I do not believe that it is a disadvantage to have two banking codes that differ In some respects. It is quite probable that the state bank­ ing code in many instances represents a closer adjustm ent to local conditions than, could be had under the national banking laws, and this is a situation that should be retained. There should, however, not be competition between the two banking codes. Competition should be between banks themselves and not between the laws under which they operate. The,effort to offer too great allurements 'in one code as against the other could lead only to weak banking laws. But I do think that there should be the alternative opportunities that now exist which banking institutions and local business interests may choose, so that they can function or conduct their business re­ lationships under that banking code . which best meets the conditions of the times and of the place as they see them. “This has been illustrated in both directions. In states where such un­ sound measures as the guarantee of deposits were operative state banks had the opportunity to escape the bale­ ful effect of such laws. On the other hand, when a court decision was handed down in W orcester, Massa­ chusetts, which rendered uncertain the position of trust assets acquired by a national bank through a merger with a state bank, it was a real advantage for national banks affected to take out and operate under a state charter, either on a temporary or a permanent basis, as circumstances make expedi­ ent. “In my opinion, bankers, national as well as state, should combat the thought that conceives of depriving us of the vitalizing benefits of our dual system." Finance Fights Erosion Farm terracing to stop erosion is of major importance In Noble County, Oklahoma, the county agent said, and so one of'the county’s national banks bought five farm levels to be loaned to farmers without charge. The ma­ chines were Immediately put to use and the farm ers are showing keen in­ terest In terracing. Two terracing schools were started for. adults and 4-H Club boys. Sale Of Valuable Real Property.

Crow, 89, of Ethel, Miss., the eldest Ford driver in Mississippi, traversed the historic old Natchez Trace In a covered wagcn eighty-seven years ago. a S rugged today at 89 as the ftge -in American history he so pic- u Ta turesquely typifies, J- M. Crow of Ethel, Miss., is the oldest Eord driver in Mississippi and one of the oldest in the United State=. W hen as a babe of two years he rode ■with his parents in one of a train of 30 covered wagons out of Cobb county, Georgia, into Mississippi, the old Natchez Trace followed by the brave little band was still infested by the swashbuckling ruffians whose bloody outrages gave that era its place in this country’s history . as “the outlaw years.” One of his vivid memories is hear­ ing*, as a boy of six, the news of Gen­ eral Scott’s victorious assault on the heights of Chapultepec which ended the Mexican W ar In 1847, and his protfdest memory is of honorable ser­ vice as a Confederate soldier during the Civil War. When the southern cailse collapsed, Crow was compelled to trudge 490 miles on foot to the old homestead at Ethel where he settled dor/ii to rear a family. In the intervening years he has seen the lumbering stagecoach give way to the fleet automobile and the comfort­ able matorbus, the soggy gumbo and rough corduroy roads of his childhood to the wide, paved roads of today, and although he was long past middle age before the modern automobile became commonplace he is as enthusiastic a driver as youngsters who can boast less than one-quarter of his years.

Capping The Climax The Statesville Daily, • taking note of the fact that the point leg islative appropriations committee has voted to refuse to Dr. Albert Anderson, superintendent of the State Hospital, Raleigh, and James Adams, an employee of the insti union, !7,621, this being half the amount spent by Dr. Anderson and the total spent by Adams in de­ fending themselves against charges brought against their officials con­ duct about a year and a half ago, takes the committe severely to task and gives strong expression to its opinion on such action in a column editorial captioned. "This Heads The List.” We quite agree with the States­ ville paper, that with all the econo my talk that has come out of the Legislature this vote of the appro priations committee caps the climax To make the whole !flatter worse it is provided, as the editorial refer red to points out, that the' amount of the refund shall be deducted from the State welfare departmen*, on the ground that the welfare de­ partment “ persecuted” Er. Ander­ son in pushing the prosecution of the charges. Readers of daily newspapers will recall that Dr. Anderson was con­ victed in the Superior court of working patients on his private property, and fined. The Supreme court held there was no law a- gainst his action. The work was said to be exercise rather than real labor. However, there was no question of the fact that the sup erintendent made an error in stag­ ing the work, or exercise, on his private property. Commenting further on the tax­ ing of the $7,621 against the State Welfare Department, the former head of which, Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, has resigned, our States ville contemporary refers to this feature of the matter as “so puerile, so unjust, that it is difficult to be­ lieve that the appropriations com mittee will allow it to stand, and if thjt committee can’t see the un­ wisdom that the legislature will. In this there is no discussion of whether refund should be mabe to Dr. Anderson. Many of Dr. An derson's friends believe be was un­ justly pursued and much of the blame was laid at the door of Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, former State commissioner of welfare depart­ ment will not affect Mrs. Johnson, who long ago gave up that job, the welfare office now being under the administration of' Mrs. Bost, who is in nowise responsible for what was done in the Anderson case. Moreover it is the innocent people who are benefited by wel­ fare work who will suffer. The committee, peeved by what it re­ gards as improper , activity of a former welfare commissioner, would proceed to punish the poor folks who are beneficiaries of that work. Did you ever? Hardly, one would think. It should occur to grown men that if the refund is due it should be made; or if it is believed the appropriation for welfare work should be cut down, let that be done. But cutting an appropria­ tion by way of punishment which falls on the innocent, not on those charged with the offending, is a performance that is cause tor wonder.” The editorial calls attention to the fact that “ it .was in the pro vince of the court to find* that “ the prosecution was frivolous and mali­ cious and tax the prosecution with the cost (incidentally the State wel< fare department didn’t represent the entire prosecution.) The court didn’t do that. But the apporpri ations committee, on ex-parte state- 5ra€a£Tsb decides and undertakes to tax tbe"cost against the welfare de­ partment, 1« addition to punish irig the innocent beneficiaries of the welfare work, the committee’s action would tend to prevent-any action looking to prosecutions in similar cases, no matter how hein­ ous the offending seemed to be. We can’t think tlie legislature will let that pass. But whatevery the con­ clusion. the appropriations com mittee has .nade an exhibition of itself that would have been through I impossible.” — Morganton News- Herald. Marriage, Not Driver’? License Needed. Raleigh.—More marriage licenses are needed much more than drivers’ licenses to stop automobile ac­ cidents and to keep dangerous drivers off the highways, in the be­ lief of "Uncle Joe” Garibaldi, ol Mecklenburg county, who with this argument sounded, the death knell of the state wide drivers license bill which had already been passed by the Senate. The bill was killed de cisively by the Hcme Monday. “If these boys would get the girls off their laps while trying to drive and pay attention to the busi ness ot driving a car instead of making love to a girl, we would not have so many accidents,” said Representative Garibaldi. “ But what causes most of the accidents now days is .so much love making in automobiles. If these chaps would get marriage licenses we would not need any drivers licenses. “The other day I was driving a long back of one of these fellows who had two girls in bis lap. in-" stead ot one. I blew my horn, but he paid no attention to anything except the girls on his lap, and the car wobbled from one side of the road to the other. “ Finally I.got by him, speeded up a bit, then stopped my car square across the road and got out When he came out he had to stop. I told him to get out. He did. “Say, have you got a license?” I asked. He produced his license card. But I told him I didn't mean that kind of license. “ 1What you need is a marriage license instead or an automobile li­ cense,’ I told him, and advised him to go the nearest courthouse and get one before he tried to drive a car on the highways again with two girls sitting in his lap.” Waste By Government. In an interview given to Collier’s by the late Senaton Uuderwood, of Alabama for release after his death that able statesman commented on the government’s wasteful methods during the World War, of which its shipbuilding program was a striking example. Of this he said “The government decided to build its own ships, believing that the price of $80 a ton offered by he United-States Corporation was too high. “ Well, we had first to build yards, towns, plumbing, lighting, pavements all living conveniences for thousands of employees. “At last we got the actual build­ ing of ships. When we got through, the ship had cost us, not $80, but from $250 to $300 a ton.” This indictment' of government operation of industrial plants was made, it should be remembered, by a Democrat who loyally supported President Wilson during the war, in spite of the tragic waste of time of money which Senator Under wood was powerless to prevent. The lesson to 'be drawn from this is; If you want something done in the slowest and most ex­ pensive way, let some political a- gency do it. If you u;ant it done quickly and conomically, leave it to private initiative and private en­ terprise. — Montgomery’s Vindi­ cator. Our geography used to tell us that the earth was divided into two parts land and water. Since get­ ting out of school we have learned that the earth is divided between those that have it and those- that are trying to get it. Land posters at this office. Nation’s Mainspring. No nation lias ever achieved per manent, greatness unless this great­ ness was based on the well-being of the great farmer class, the men who live on the soil; for it is upon their welfare, material and moral, that the welfare of the rest of the welfare of the rest of the nation ultimately rests. The farm grows the raw material for the food and clothing of all our citizens; it supports directly al­ most half of them; and nearly half the children of the United States are born and bi ought up on the farms. I am thefore anxious to bring be fore the people of the United States the question of securing bet­ ter business and better living on the farm, whether by cooperation between the farmers for buying, selling and borrowing; by promot­ ing social advantages and oppor­ tunities in the country; or by any other legislature means that will help to make country life more gainful, more attractive, and fuller of opportunities, pleasures and re wards for the men, women, and children of the farms.—Theadore Roosevelt. ‘ ‘Pershing Visits Canadians and Praises Their Sue Spirit,” says a headline.

There is a tend ency is most quarters to believe thaf deeper forces of recovery than the purely seasonal influunces have been at work. There is ^considerable difference of opinion as to whether the aggregate gain so far has been more or Ie s than seasonal forces usually achieve. The Guaranty Trust company’s survey, published M> nday, says, “evidence accumulates that the wav i3 be’ng cleared for business recovery and that necessary readjustments to assure it are under wav, but that this will be a slow and uneven pro­ cess seems equally evident. That progress cannot be accurately timed or measurep hut that it seemed to be started is of real importance and carried with it a degree of reasur- anee and improved business psycho­ logy.” A cautious note was sounded by Alfred P Sloan. Jr , president of General Motors corpo’a’i n. who said in an interview that the hope f >r recovery is brighter “ but there are no. statistics to prove a change in trend, and any prophecy that busi­ ness will be good at a certain time is merely a gupss.” He expressed the J belief, however, that 1932 and 1933 i will be good year.

IN ADVANCE - $ 50 The merchants sales lax met a timely death at the hands of the State Senate last week. Senator Grant, of Davie, seems to have climbed on the fence and when vot­ ing time came he voted pretent— neither for nor against the measure. The vote was 36 to S against tl:e sales tax. What this town needs is more stop lights and fewer aittomnbile wrecks. Strangers sometimes receive a warm welcome when visiting Mocksville. From present indications the next legislature will have an en­ tirely different complexion from the one that is now in session at Raleigh. No use to worry over what that bunch of law makers in Raleigh are going to do. The best thing that could happen for the state would be a new amendment to the constitution allowing but. one sixty, day session every ten years. The Hinsdale Inxuary sale tax bill was defeated in the Senate last Wednesday by a vote of 26 to 24. Senator Grant, of Davie, voted for the luxury tax. Representative LeGrand, of Davie, when this mea­ sure was before the House, voted against the tax. What has happened to the hard- surface road that the Cooleemee Journal, Davie's oldest and best democratic newspaper said was to be built from Greasy Corner to Barber, via Cooleemee, immediate Iy after the democrats took charge of Davie county? Even the Lex­ ington highway from Mocksville to Fork, seems to have slipped a cog. Senator Dartch of Wayne, seems to have been snowed under so far as having the State highway patrol abolished. North Carolina could save thousands of dollars monthly by abolishing this btinch of motor­ cycle riders If they have ever prevented a wreck or been present when a wreck occured in Davie county, we failed to find it out and give them credit for same. Big Bill Tnompson, Republican • mayor of Chicago, got what was ciming to him last Tuesday. Cer- mack, the democratic candidate, defeated Bill by nearly a quarter of a million votes. The Record is a Republican newspaper but we are not shedding any tears over thede- feit of Thompson. For twelve years he has held the job and no office-holder is entitled to a life time job.

When I was young and helpless, she took care of me; I did my best to help take care of her, I tried to pay my debt to her for I was due her much. She never left me alone when an infant. I never Ieft.her alone after she sickened and weakened. She was patient with me when a child I tried to be patient with her second childhood. She sa crificed her young life for me, fed, clothed and taught me more than all other teachers. She loved and guid ad me when I was ignorant, awkward and needing constant care. A'I be cause I was hers, born of her body and part of her soul. Her feeble­ ness and sickness endeared her to me for t^e reason that she was my mother, Shewatchedovermetend erelv thru [girlhood into woman hood. I watched with her until her soul passed from earth into heaven, and me thinks I can fee) her cling­ ing fingers within mine now as the angels took her from earth's strug gles, leaving her only daughter, longing for comfort that only God can give.

This Rustless Steel bas great tensile strength. It is the same bright metal all the way through. A salt test equivalent to forty years’ service under the severest weather conditions failed to have any effect on its brilliance. It never requires polishing. All you do is wipe it with a daipp cloth, as you do your Windshield. This is just one of many features that-show the substantial worth of the Ford.

At once you are gree ted with the delightful aroma that comes from choicest Turkish and mellowest Domestic tobaccos In prime condition. Your sense of touch also detects the freshness of Camels, for unlike moisture-robbed cigarettes Camels are pliable to the fingers. But the real difference comes when you light a Camel and inhale its cool, fragrant smoke. Cigarettes brought to you so perfectly conditioned deserve to be kept that way in your pocket. The simplest way to insure this is to open the Camel Humidor Pack as shown above. That will keep intact the mildness and freshness that is making the whole country say: “Now I’d walk two miles for a Camel because they’re twice as good,” If you haven’t tried Camels in the new Humidor Pack, switch over for just one day.

Speaking over the Dixie net­ work of the Columbia Broadcasting system, the executive director of the republican national committee said the democrats offered the A- merican people nothing and that the south should “quit camping in a political graveyard and join hands with the republican party, which looks forward and marches on­ ward.” Lucas said the sheriff and other republican policies bad “ redounded to the development of the south and the prosperity of her people.” He added “it’s place, therefore, politically is in the republican party.” “ The only concrete propositions which the democratic organization has presented to the American peo­ ple.” he said,” are those suggested by Mr. Raskok, chairman of the democratic national committee.” Lu as said Raskob had made “the unique proposal” that the “economic problems now confront­ ing the United States, and in which the south is vitally interested, may­ be solved by (1) repealing the fe­ deral and anti-trust laws; and (2) offering every individual a drink.” “This is an entirely new school of political thought,” he said. “ Why should the people of the south,” he added, “in justice to themselves, their industries, com monwealths and thtif cities, in justice to their children, continue an alliance with a political organi­ zation that it cannot present to the American people a concrete state­ ment as to what it will do in event' it is given control of the federal government? “Why should the people of the south continue to plac'e themselves aside from the rest of the country politically, by following such bank rupt leadership?” Davie County Has Fine Soil. Davie county, with a total of 13 distinct tpyes of soil, has an abund ance of Cecil clay, loam and David­ son loam soil which are very pro­ ductive of cotton, small groins and legumes, the bureau of chemistry and soils of the United States De­ partment of Agriculture has found. A complete soil survey of Davie county, describing the color, tex ture, has just been completed for the county. Cecil clay loam, or “red clay land,” is the most extensive and one of the most important farming soils of the county, the report says, being “well suited to cotton, small grains and legumes.” “ Davidson clay loam,” it con­ tinues, also occupies a large acre age and is described as producing yields which compare favorably with those obtained on the Cecil soil. Appling sandy loam is de­ scribed as well suited to the produc­ tion of bright leaf tobacco, and the Congaree soils are very good corn soils, yielding as high as forty-five bushels of corn to the acre without fertilization.” The report contains descriptions of the soil to a depth of four to six feet and tells why some of the soils are droughty and unproductive in dry seasons while others hold .water from the crops even in the driest years. A Man And A Muie. Over the hills trailed a man be hind a mule drawing a plow. The clod hopper was “broadcaseiog.” “ Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man made in the image of God, yet here we work bitched together year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me, or if I work for vou. Sometimes I think this is a part­ nership between a n ule and a darn fool, for surely I do double the work you do. Plowing here we cover the same distauce, but you do it ou four legs and I do it on two; so mathematically speaking I d ) twice as much work per leg as you do. Soon we’ll be preparing for a com crop. When the crop is harvested I give one third to the landlord for being kind enQugh to let me use this corner of God’s creation; the other goes to you and what is left is my share. But while you consume your entire third ex­ cept a few cobs, I divide mine a- mong seven children, six hens, two ducks, and a banker. , Bill, yon are getting the best of me. It ain’t fair for a mule the son of a jackass, to rob a man, the lord of creation, of his substance, and come to think of it you onlv help to cultivate the ground after I have to cut. shock, and husk it, while you look over the pasture fence and hee haw at me. 1 All fall and part of the wir.ter the whole family from granny on down to the baby pick cotton to raise money to buy a new set of harness and pay the interest on the mortgage on you, and bv the way what do you care about mortgage?

In Memory of M. C. Kurfees. (By Jno. W. Kurfess) Our brother has gone to be *ith theLoid In a brighter world than this; “Walking by Faith” in His holy word, He has nurchased a homw of bliss. There, in his lonely room he fell, A valiant “soldier of the cross”; No more can he the “story” tell. And in his passing we feel the loss. But in our loss we prize his gain, A noble fight, a victory won. Through ceaseless tone ages he wilt reign With his elder brother. God’s own sor. By faith he WalkedtSlong life way. With head erect and bosom bare; He never wavered, let come what may. But preached “the v» ord” with wisdom rare. With the “sword of the Spirit” he always fought, In the many battles he waged: With both his tongue and pen he wrought, When false teaching around him raged. Ne more he’ll meet the earthly foe, His troubles and trials are o’er; He's now with loved ones of long ago, Where they’ll never part no more. Farewell Marshall, your task is done.

Many, many times I have done things and said things that I should mt have done and should have done hings that I didn’t do He that lTOoweth to do good and doeth it not, 0 him it is sin Oh that men and _ women everywhere would confess to God and before man that they have tinned and come short of the glory of God Confess your sins one to another and pray one for another, but so many of us confess to the other fel low’s faults one to auother. It i9 time we were stopping and taking inventory of our lives and see just what we think God things of us anyway. Are we really serving God or mammon. We are serving one or the other, so let us stop at once and determine where we are. If we are on God’s side then let us press forward to the goal that is just a- head of us. If we are on the devil’s side, then let us turn around 'n life and get ready for that great judg­ ment day, for that great day . has come and who shall be able to stand. Only those that have counted the .cost if there soul should be lost. Be not deceived, God is not mock­ ed. I am afraid many of us ehurch members are making a mock of God by being a member of his holy church and then going on and ser­ ving the devil in so many ways. May G >d he’p me, although I am un­ worthy to call upon his name but may 1 pray more, do Lmore in behalf of his kindum, Althii we have sinned and come - short of the glory of God, he will sustain The world may mock aid scorn ai .u-, but let us do what God says Krpentand be baptised and thou shall be saved If God be for us then who can be against us. Our friends may forsake us, they may become our enemies and speak a l manner of evil against us. but let us pray for our enemies and bless them that curse us. and despitefully use us So teach us to number our days that we mav apply iur hearts unto wisdom May God help me, that I may have wisdom and understanding of God, and that I may live today as I should die tomorrow. For we no not what a day may bring forth. We know not how soon the death angel will come and call for us, or some loved one. Then it behooves us to be ready altho we have sinned and come short of the glory of G id. We can and we must repent or we will all likewise perish. May I say' just here I have been almost shut in for s iveral davs with Au and cold, and God impressed upon my heart to write a piece to The Davie Record. If Mr. Stroud finds space to print this I will appeciate it very much. I sincerelly ask all "the readers of The D ivie Record to pray for me that my eyes may get better, so I can study G id’s word again. For al­ most four years I have been handi­ capped because of my eyes. ; So please remember me in your prayero. Will close with a man’s prayer. Lord teach me that sixty minutes make an hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hundred cents one dollar. Help me Lord, so to live that I can lie down at night without a gun under my pillow and unhaunt­ ed by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain Help me Lord that I mav earn every dollar on the square, and that in earning them I may do unto other as I would have them do unto men Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, and reveal to me tnv own. Guide ! me through the day so thafrieach I night when I lie down Fcan fejjlhat if should not awake the Lord him­ self would not forsake. Keep me young enough to laugh with child­ ren and sympathetic enough to be consideratte of old age, and when comes the day of darkrned shades and the smell of flowers on my casket . and the tread of footsteps in the yard May it be said, he was pre- ; pared to meet his God. ’1 Yoiirs For Christ, I B.

There are a few democrats run­ ning loose around the country who seem to be under the impression that there is no such thing as an. honest Republican. Such fellows will bear watching.

The South Carolina legislature passed two bills last wetk—one wise and one foolish. The foolish bill legalizes horse racing in the Palmetto State, while the wise bill does away with the State highway patrol in that state. One of the legislators, in speaking of the" high­ way patrol, says it costs the state $300,000 per year and is worth nothing to the taxpayers. Would that our legislature had taken the same stand on the highway patrol in North Carolina. Tne South Carolina Senate may yet kill the a- bove bills as they have not passed final reading.

I OWA state officials and civic leaders -witnessed the establishment of a new world’s non-motor, non-wheel stop automobile endurance record recently, when Ralph and Holland Davis, brothers, brought their Model A Ford to a halt at the east entrance of the state capitol in Des Moines after 2,775 hours and 46 minutes of continuous driving. * .When Governor Hammillf standing with W alter Ferrell, executive secretary of the Iowa Chapter of the American Automobile Association, gave the signal to stop, the Ford had trareled a total of 47,138.3 miles over all sorts of roads in all sorts of weather and Iiad exceeded by 33,680 miles and more than 2,335 hours the American non-stop endur­ ance record which, theretofore officially recognized, was made by a much heavier car under almost idea! condi­ tions on the Indianapolis speedway last year. In the course of the endurance run, the car, known as uThe City of Des Moines,” covered practically the entire state of Iowa. Engineers who examined the Ford at the conclusion of the run asserted that neither engine nor chassis showed evidence of the gruelling strains to which they were sub­ jected during the 116 days of continuous driving. Both apparently, according to the engineers, would have been good for another 50,000 miles or more. The Record It is encouraging to learn from a number of legi.-lHors passing through the city en route to their homes for the week end, that the North Carolina General Assembly is nearing the end ot the longest session in history. Several of the solons agreed that the finance bill is almost completed and that it is possible for the re­ presentatives, who have made the 1931 biennial session the longest on record, to complete their work in a week or ten days. Citizens of North Carolina have seldom been so sorely vexed by a General Assembly as they have at the present one. Elected by a democratic landslide and on tickets purporting to represent all the peo­ ple as espoused by the democratic platform, the legislators got into the middle of a bad fix by making promises. They voted for the six months’ school bill without ad valorem taxes and without 'know­ ing where the revenue could be raised, or if it could be raised. ' They have, for reasons which the electorate is gotug to want to know hereafter, stood by their guns to protect the few and have let others sb >ut about various means of tax ing the many who maintain no In- bies in tbe capital. - It will be well to get the agoflv of 1931 over and then the peo­ ple can have a year and a half in which to study the 1931 legisla ture and the position their repre­ sentatives have taken, before it is time to select the next group of law makers for the commonwealth —Twin-City Sentinel.

W fri Prohibition a Consider­ able Thorn. “The question of prohibition” says the Biblical Recorder, "is a veritable thorn is the side of broth of our ma jar political parties. It is said that the Eighteenth Amendment gives protection to bootleggers. If the EiKhteenthAmendmFitis abolished the barrooms in some form will cer­ tainly be re-instated. With present conditions of automobile traffic the highways would be perilous. Gam bling dens and bawdy houses always follow in the wake of the liquor trade;. The return, of such condi tiqji Should disgrace our socUI life Those who take"the position that prohibition has no merit fail to re­ member that clean living and no­ bility; of character are matters of personal and. private virtue. The laws are made'for the protection of those who wish to maintain high Stondards of character. No system ’of (aws can be established that will force people to live righteously,” Up To Clyde'And Josigli Why it looks from here, wha- that Tammany gang in New York needs in another angelizing by Hon Clyde Hoey and Senator J. W1 Bailey. The wings they pinned on this organization two years ogo have worn down to the pin feathers- and consequently are of no furthei use. If Mr. Alfred E. Smithwould ilso use his prerogative as boss 01 the organization to sort of whiten it up a little, it might help Mr. Smith boasted when he wa- running tor. President that he was boss of Tammany instead of Tam many being boss of him. but wnile he was down here in North Caro Iina telling our legislators how tc run things the Wigwam seems tc have been left unswept. And Jim­ my Walker, who is mayor of New York what time he isn’t playing in Europe or taking a vacation some where else seems to have off to Calafornia without employing a chambermaid. So all I see for it is to get Mr. Hoey and Mr. Bailey to give the organization another clean bill ol health, as they did two years ago. Then Tammany was spotless or­ ganization and the friend of the South. I hope we Southerners have done nothing since to lose Tam­ many’s most valuable regard. Whatever Messrs. Hoey and Bailey do, however, should be done promptly, for just now Democratic voters in the South are somewhat confused. Two years ago Mr. Bailey and Mr. Hoey asked us to vote for Smith because he was ol and for Tammany and now it ap pears likely that we will be asked two years hence to vote fof Frank Iin Roosevelt because he is not ol and is against Tammany. Strange, isn’t ii? If Mr. Roosevelt cleans up Tam many, as many good men, includ ing preachers are asking him to do, and is nominated for President, wilj it not make it sort of embarrassing for Mr. Hoey and Mr. Bailey Io take the stump for him and ask people to vote for. him because he cleaned out an organization which they told the voters two years ago was angel-pure? But of course they will know how to handle a '■ittls matter like that, being politi cians. It may be though, that the op position of preachers to Tammany is merely a case of more meddling by the clergy where they have no business. Preachers shouldn't say a word against Tammany, of course' because Tammany is a political or­ ganization, and preachers must keep out of politics. But nevertheless, if Roosevelt cleans up Tammany and puts a few judgeship sellers and policemen blackmailers of women in ]ail, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the preachers are asked to lam in and help nominate and e'ect Irimv And if some of the best Democrats in the South, fellows who tore their shirts and throats in denounciug preachers for meddling in politics, are not found fellowshipping with them in a most brotherly manner whenever and wherever they meet, I shall be very much mistaken. Well, politics being strange things to pass, as well as makes strahge bed fellows, for one man is defied for belonging to Tammany and another glorified for opposing it, and by the same men. I don't see how such things, can be, but such is politics. HadiMr. Alfred E, Smith been elected President, however, and succeeded no better in keeping grafters out of government than he has in keeping grafters out of the organization he has pub) idv boast ed of bossing, his administration would have been more or less of a frost, wouldn’t it?.. The truth, is, no man can bogs Tammany tin less Tell Piper To Charge Il A red wagon came to town Sat !irday, a kind of dilapidated Ford, [t was painted red and made ol scraps nailed together. It was park­ 'd on the south side of the couit iouse, and soon a legless fellow be- fan to tune up some old tin pans, jlotbes lines, tin cans and punk vire. He had a five cent piece or :hestra and he turned it for a while and then reached for a tin can fid He and a yard stick bow He prod- luced fine music. He made a littlf vitty speech before putting his or : hestra to work. And mind you ill parts were played bv one man md him a legless wonder. He told :he crowd which had gathered that ie could eat better when he hat the stuff iu his pocket to buy i' with. I saw- a funnv look come into the eyes of the folks and the} ■started to move on quietly. J Blacker said he hadn't a cent in his pocket, and the writer did not lave any either and others must iot have had any for they started .0 rush and I looked for a stam­ pede. The legless man said, do you expect me to play when I can’t eat, and each map dropped the corners of his mouth a little lower ind tobacco ran out like a spring branch, but the nickles did net come. About this time the writer ■slipped away and left the little red wagon and the man with no legs. The man drove away, and I ’ll bet i dollar he has a fine opinion o( the folks who stood and listened forgot to pay.—T. B. Laney, Mon roe Journal. . Playing The Mischief. Chairman Raskob has got the ladies demanding his resignation, and going to Hoover ana asking him to run again and giving him consolation and encouragement, the first he has nad in his un broken lines of disaster, and we hope he is satisfied. If Raskob keeps up bis efforts to shove the prohibition question into the De mocratic campaign, he should re­ sign, and Itt someone take the reins who has sense enough to let the delegates to the convention say what they want to do about a. plat­ form without pressure trom any source. The very ethics of the case should indicate to Mr Raskob that he is the veiy last man to at­ tempt to dictate to the party as a vvhole, and that his joj as chair olan is to hold the scales of fairness evenly and endeavor to keep out all differences that would tend to dis rupt the fiout of his party when it goes into the campaign against the enemy.-—Wilson Times.

Thinking a hawk was the guilty of fender, Mrs. Hoover set a steel trap and was surprised to find the pirate was a large bald eagle, which mea­ sured 7 feet from tip to tip, and tipped the scales at ten pounds. AU the weddings we read about are quiet in contrast to married life afterwards. he pe.rmits grafting and whoever permits grafting is little better than the grafters. So with Mavor Jimmy Walker gone and Mr. Smith busy with other things, it seems that Mr. Bailry and Mr. Hoey might give Tammany another gilding, refur­ bish the wings they pinned to this organization two years ago and the thus relieve Franklin Roosevelt of a most unpleasant job. —Upton Wjlson, in Winston Journal, * A Psalm of Cotton.

Thou hast kept my children ot.t if school, church and society, there by robbing them of that which is good and noble, elevating and re­ fining; Thou hast caused me to go to he barn and bring out the old fer ilizer sacks and ask my wife to make me a shirt; Now, behold as I stand amidst ny new shirt with these inscrip- ions in full view; “Eighteen per cent acid phosphate” on the. breast and “ 12 4 4” on the tail.

Governor Emmerson tells his fel Iov citizens of Illinois that, al_ though they mav not be p’easef with the way prohibition ,operate i 1 that state, yet they do not. wlier fiey are doing their best thinking, really want to wipe out all regula tory liquor legislation. Thi' opinion commends itself as one of t ie sanest pronoudcements regard- i ig prohiDition that have heen ut­ tered lateh. Tliepeopleof othe stat -s, officials and plain citizens a Iixe1 should ponder very serioush this altitude expressed by Gover nor Emmerson. “ The million voters of IUnoi:- who favored the public policy ques tions expressed their dissatisfaciion with present conditions. They did not, however, in my opinion, ap prove them Illinois must stand with the Federal government and the supreme law of the land ” Sant advice this coming from the gover nor of a gieat state whose legisla­ ture had by decisive votes in both houses decreed that prohibition en forcement legislation in that state should be repealed. It takes more than courage for a governor to veto such a bill. It takes sound logic. Governor Em merson had both. His logic is im pregnable. How can a state flout the Federal government and the supreme law of the land? Obe dience to Federal laws and the Con stitution was settle bv the War Be­ tween the States.

We may see in the Priest and Levite who passed him bv without ministry or mercy a purely theore­ tical notion of religion which sub­ stitutes ritual tor righteousness and sacrifices in the temple for mercies by the wayside We may see in GoodSamaritanthe Spirit of- the Golden Cross who writes a golden creed in a golden deed and seeks to do good to the souls and bodies if men.

C, A p r il 2 9, t9$t To Which Will You Be­ long? -,Believing that times of depression are! times of opportunity for indi- viduals or firms who will make them so, Dwight E. Beebe, direc tor of service of the Alexander Hamilton Institute, savs: .,‘•'Five years hence, membership in the ‘Wish I Had Club' wili be made,up of business men who are prevented from making money for themselves now, because fear rules their jtninds.” It is a truth that The Advance has long felt and at times tried to express, perhaps not clearly en­ ough to have much effect. The titpe'vto go after the business is when the other fellow is afraid to. Tbe time to offer attractive bar­ gains is when the other fellow is waiting for “better times” and do ingnothing. The time to make friends and patrons is when the other fellow isn’t doing anything a- Iong that line ,When is that time? Why. dur­ ing-a depression! It has been here for months. It hasu’t left us yet entirely. . "Hundred of fortunes have been ihade by buying from pessimists,” Mr. Beebe declares Itis another way of saying the old admonition: Buy when everybody is selling, sell when everybody is buving. When everybody else has slowed down to a walk, the man who runs will win. When everybody else is floating with the stream, the man who swims will gets there first. When everybody else is waiting for "khe return of normalcy.” the man who goes out alter the business will get it. vjLet the pessimists wait and float around in the sluggish back waters of;depression I It leaves the chan­ nel open and free for.the man who wants to go somewhere! It is easier going now—for the man who tries —than it will be a little later when then middle of the channel is all cluttered up with everybody else, all of them trying to do the same thing! There’ll be another club and. its name will be: “ The I'm Glad I Did Club.” Ic will be composed of business men who take advant­ age of unusual opportunity for pro­ gress and profit now; of men who use conditions to their own profit instead of submitting to them.— Daily Advocate. The Inevitable Result of Mi Keeping At It. ./T h e man who catches the most fish is the man who does the most fishing. f\T f you are fishing for customers ;with advertising, don’t quit if you fail to get a "bite ’ the first time you throw out your line. Keepon fishing. , ■ No one would think of fishing that way, but too often' merchants advertise that way. .If they do not get immediate re­ sponse to every advertisement thev conclude people are not buying, and discontinue their advertising. .The principle behind advertising is;as sound as the principle behind behind the multiplication table. It .is !based on the inevitable reaction of-Jthe human mind in response to certain repeated impulses. Advertising is an -Tnseperable companion of modejn • business and the merchants who is operating without advertising, or with insuf fieient, spasmodic advertising, is • failing to avail himself of the op pirtunities that are his for the ask­ ing. .. All about us are evidences of business sucesses that have been ,built through the^ medium of ad­ vertising. / Advertising when backed by the right merchanding methods, sells merchandise and inct eases ousiness ^volume and profits. >. Advertising is the one force for trade expansion and increased sales that is open alike to the large and the small business. It serves the country merchant in exactly the same way as it does the largest city merchant. Don’t wail that business isn’t it used to.be. Catch up with it.
